Cookies and Cream Overnight Oats
A recipe that tastes like ice cream but is packed with whole grains, fiber, and protein.
Servings: 1 Serving
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats (Note 1)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (Note 2)
- ¼ cup plain greek yogurt (Note 3)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon pure maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon unsweetned cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
- 2 crushed Oreo cookies (Note 4)
Instructions
- Use a wide-mouth mason jar or a container with a tight-fitting lid.
- To the jar, add the rolled oats and chia seeds.
- Next, add the unsweetened almond milk. Stir immediately. This will help prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
- Next, add the plain Greek yogurt, pure maple syrup, cocoa powder, and mini chocolate chips. Stir until combined.
- To the top, add one crushed up Oreo cookie. Save the other cookie to crush up right before serving. It adds a wonderful crunchy texture to the overnight oats.
- Add the cover and store it in the refrigerator for up to four days. Stir before enjoying. If the overnight oats seem too thick, add a splash of unsweetened almond milk.
Notes
Note 1: These can also be called old-fashioned oats. If you need a gluten-free option, look for oats with a purity protocol to be sure there isn’t any cross-contamination.
Note 2: Regular dairy milk can be substituted.
Note 3: If lactose is a concern, use a lactose-free Greek yogurt. Vanilla Greek yogurt will also work. If using a sweet yogurt, skip the maple syrup; it may be too sweet.
Note 4: If you cannot tolerate wheat or gluten, use gluten-free Oreos. You can also try different varieties, such as peanut butter, mint, or red velvet.
Meal Prep Tip: This recipe makes one jar. To make four or five jars at a time, line them up and add the ingredients. It is a super simple way to meal-prep breakfast for the week!
